Free Wall Mounted Bike Rack Plans

This step by step woodworking project is about wall mounted bike rack plans. If you want to organize your bikes in a professional manner and to save space in your home, I recommend you to consider building this wooden rack. This bike rack can be used in the backyard, as well. You can adjust the size of the project to suit your needs. See my other DIY projects HERE.

We recommend you to invest in the best materials you could afford. Therefore, you should buy weather-resistant lumber, such as pine or cedar. Always take accurate measurements before adjusting the size of the components at the proper size. Drill pilot holes trough the components before inserting the wood screws, to prevent the wood from splitting. See all my Premium Plans in the Shop.
